Get the Bloom, Chime, and Grind of Leo Fender’s Most Iconic Amp

Vintage Fender 5E3 tweed Deluxe amplifiers are the Holy Grail of tone, with pristine clean sounds at low volume, and sweet overdrive to full-on tube saturation when cranked. Designed by Universal Audio and endorsed by Fender, the ’55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in gives you every nuance of this historic amp.

Get the Sound of a Vintage "Golden Unit" Amp

UA chose two bone-stock 1955 tweed Deluxe “golden units” to be emulated, capturing every single component — from speaker paper and heat dissipation, to filter caps and transformers — giving you the essential ingredients for expressive, easy-to-record sounds.

Choose from Three Classic Speakers

The ’55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in gives you three famous “hot rod” speaker mods, including the stock 1955 Jensen P12R for jangly treble and thick bottom, a 25-watt Celestion for thicker more aggressive mids, and a JBL-D120F that stays clean and pristine with more air and presence.

Explore Expertly Placed Mics

The ’55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in offers expertly placed multi-mic tones with a collection of legendary mics. Mix and match with a rare '60s Beyer M160 and white Sennheiser MD-421 mics, a modern Royer R-121, and a hand-picked vintage Neumann U67 from Ocean Way Studios.

Get Jaw-Dropping Accuracy with Unison™ Technology

Harnessing UA’s Unison technology, the Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that make the tweed Deluxe one of the most recorded amps in history. And like the original, you can plug into any of the amp’s four inputs — or "jump" the inputs — for tons of different tones.

What They Say

The UAD Fender ‘55 Tweed Deluxe plug-in is one of the best emulations I've heard. The controls respond nicely and the options for mic balance and off-axis positioning make it very versatile.

The UAD Fender ‘55 Tweed Deluxe is my favorite amp emulation. Finally a plug-in that gets the crunchy power tube distortion just right.

The UAD Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe is the best sounding guitar amp emulation available.

    Best 5E3!

    The 55 Tweed Woodrow amp plugin is my favorite - it responds beautifully to dynamics and touch, giving that warm, articulate tone that fits jazz perfectly. It’s rare to find an amp sim that actually feels inspiring to play through, but this one nails it.

    Incredible tone!

    If you’re gonna have only one UA powered guitar amp, this is the one. Especially if you looking for prestige cleans. Stunning.

    Very Good Amp Sim

    Very good emulation. I have no problem getting clean sounds at normal volume levels following UA tips and tricks. Although is not my favourite sound I think it is an excellent emulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
